    "Shiny Things" by Tom Waits from the album 'Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards'
    Lyrics
    The things a crow puts in his nest
    they are always things he finds that shine best
    somehow he'll find
    a shiny dime
    a silver twine
    from a valentine
    the crows all bring
    them shiny things
    leave me alone you big old moon
    the light you cast is just a liar
    you're like the crows
    cause if it glows
    you're dressed to go
    you guessed I know
    you'll always bring
    them shiny things
    well I'm not dancing here tonight
    but things are bound to turn around
    the only thing
    I want that shines
    is to be king
    there in your eyes
    to be your only
    shiny thing

    I remember this song from a very old TH-cam video showing footage of videogames through the years. Games evolution (19XX-2007) was the title I think. I found the song to be sad when I first listened to it on that video more than a decade ago even if I didn't speak English back then. Then when I turned 15 6 yeara ago and having gone to the institute, I could tell what the lyrics were about and it makes the song sadder

    That loneliness will subside. Anyone listening to this in a messed up situation needs to understand you will find a star. No matter your beliefs and ideas. Life will find a way. I know some of you are suffering out there but I promise you will get out of it. What about death? Because that question lies in the road of the most lethargic and philosophically declined. Listen, you don’t know and have any idea what happens. That’s for you to decide. So stop worrying about shit you don’t know. I hope all of you reading this find what your looking for on this journey. God bless
